In today’s world, most of us spend hours looking down at our phones, laptops, or tablets. This constant forward head posture has led to a surge in neck pain, headaches, and poor posture—a condition now commonly referred to as "Tech Neck." If you’ve been experiencing tight shoulders, stiffness, or persistent headaches, you’re not alone. The good news? Clinical Pilates and physiotherapy at Body Form can help you correct posture, relieve tension, and prevent long-term damage.
What is Tech Neck?
Tech Neck occurs when prolonged screen time causes your head to tilt forward, putting excess pressure on your spine. Your head weighs around 5kg, but for every centimetre it moves forward, the strain on your neck doubles. This can lead to:
🔹 Chronic Neck & Shoulder Pain – Tension builds up in the neck, traps, and upper back.
🔹 Headaches & Migraines – Strained neck muscles can trigger tension headaches.
🔹 Rounded Shoulders & Poor Posture – Long-term slouching weakens your postural muscles.
🔹 Stiffness & Reduced Mobility – Neck and upper back stiffness make movement uncomfortable.
🔹 Nerve Pain & Tingling – Compressed nerves can lead to arm pain, tingling, or numbness.
If left untreated, Tech Neck can progress into more serious spinal issues, including disc injuries and chronic postural imbalances.
